Glenn McFarlane in today's Hun, takes a look at all the clubs' next generation in 2023 - here is what he writes about St Kilda's crop, and guess what, it's positive
"HEADLINE MAKER
Max King’s shoulder surgery will keep him out of the line-up for a large slice of the season.
That’s not the start Ross Lyon wanted. But if St Kilda can find another avenue to goal, and get King back in the second half of the season, all
will not be lost. King kicked 52.41 last season, which highlighted how good he is going to be.
X-FACTOR
We've seen enough of Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera to understand why he is so important to St Kilda.
He can do what a number of other Saints can’t – kick with precision. That’s why Wanganeen-Milera remains one of the most important signings,
as he comes out of contract at the end of 2023 and the South Australian clubs will come knocking.
QUESTION MARK
Not much went right for Jack Bytel in 2022. He had injury and concussion issues, managing 12 VFL games without adding to his 16 AFL matches.
A crucial season looms for Bytel as he enters the final year of his current deal.
UNTAPPED TALENT
Marcus Windhager is much more than just a tagger, as good as he was on some leading midfielders at stages of 2022. He can take his game to a new level
and win some more of the ball himself in 2023.
And we love the confidence that pick 10 draftee Mattaes Phillipou has, knowing he has the talent to back it up.
Lyon would be pleased to have access to under 23s like King, Wanageneen-Milera, Windhager, Phillipou and Mitch Owens."

Re: Next Generation on Rise in 2023
It’s exactly what we need
I’d add if guys like
Coffield, Clark, Connolly, Allison can lift over the next 18 months plus we draft smart next year ….we’ll have a very talented core of kids coming through with hopefully the right age blend…
